Just bought a new 77” LG G3 TV…and a PS5 this week…but now I have second thoughts on the PS5 and might send it back…

I‘ve been a casual PC gamer for years and have a steam account and shared access to Game Pass.

I fancy playing a few driving games on the TV and maybe some chilled open world titles….I only play First Person Shooters on the PC with mouse and keyboard.

Anyway I’ve been out the loop for a couple of years and wondered if anyone had first hand experience of Ge Force Now?

My TV supports it…and was wondering if it was a viable alternative to a console…

didn’t know what section to put this in..as it’s PC gaming mainly rather than only console discussion.

cheers

I'd spotted the app a few months ago as well on the TV and gave it a go with the free slots on a few different games, from my experience then the image quality was pretty decent, but anything other than slow paced/turn based games was near unplayable (to me at least) due to the latency, some felt like they were at least more than half a second behind my button inputs.

I used it via my LG C2 for a while, until I realised that I couldn't justify the subscription alongside my Steam Deck and Series X. That said, once I finish a couple of games, I may sell the Series X and just use the Deck and GeForce Now - I thought it was really impressive through the TV.

I used it with an old PS4 controller I had knocking around and it was perfect, but it should work with whatever your preferred bluetooth controller is.

As a fairly casual gamer myself, I was really impressed with it. It was even stable enough for a decent game of Rocket League.

Cheers I still have my PS4 in my AV rack…so I could use one of those controllers….cheers for the info.

My steam library is huge and games can be had cheaper than PS5 etc…

No steam app exists on LG App Store that allows streaming from your pc like the Steam link did?

Is there a Steam Link app for LG TV?

Sony/Samsung owners are currently able to stream games from PC directly, but there's no such option for LG owners, we can only purchase a physical device.


Shame..:(

I'm not sure, but I've flicked between Priority and Free pretty straightforwardly, so I can't see why not...

Edit: There's another platform called Boosteroid, which I've not tried but apparently has a better games list (or at least more AAA, but possibly fewer back catalogue stuff). Has anyone tried that?

How have you found priority?
 
I’ve signed up for priority and loaded WRC 9…

It looks crap and the audio cuts out…

Wired connection…500mb internet…

Changed the server loaction….

Will try a few more games before I make my conclusions….but first impressions are not good…:(

Changed the output of the LG TV to PCM…no more dropouts….

I’m using a Denon AV amp and HDMI eARC

I can recreate the dropouts….in game TV set to audio output

auto = Drop outs
passthrough = Drop outs
PCM= Working.

investigating further…and report back…
